Hazardous waste sites that do not require a long-term
cleanup process are considered short-term cleanups (also referred
to as "removal actions"). Although the cleanup process for these
sites may not be as lengthy as for long-term cleanups, these sites
may still affect the health and environment of those who live near
the site. There are three categories of short-term cleanups: classic
emergencies, time-critical
actions, and non-time critical
actions.
